Over 45 minutes without a 126 from Birmingham this evening, still waiting? What's been going on, usual chaos around Oldbury/Burnt Tree?

Interesting. With Springfield Road being closed, 11s coming from Bearwood have been told to come through Five Ways and Highgate Road as oppose to the 1 route.

At 445pm, I left work & walked straight up to Wednesbury BS & got a 38 around 520 roughly back to Walsall.

Least I've got next week off.

It wasn't that bad only a couple of mins here and there. The 229 was quite bad 12 mins late into
roseville

The 907s were suffering yesterday afternoon, with the traffic at Perry Barr and New Oscott. I wasn't too bad, at most 10 minutes late but others were running together (20 minute service) and I caught the one in front of me just before I finished, not too bad I only came off a few minutes late

If they were only running a few minutes late, then they wouldn't have needed to adjust any (which was the case).
